Stuart came to
Wheathampstead

(men's outfitters - more details in History section)

He started at.20 High Street, but it was destined to
become the Manager's Office in Barclays Bank.

Fortunately,
he learned that Mr. Bentley who owned the
hardware shop at No.36 was willing to sell.

months left of my tenancy, I set about what was to turn out to be a virtual
rebuild of No.36.
